Students' satisfaction with some aspects of quality of life in Split

Suvremeni gradovi suočavaju se s posljedicama urbanizacije i globalizacije koje mjenjaju sliku kvalitete života. Shodno tome, u Hrvatskoj su provedena istraživanja iz različitih znanstvenih područja usmjerena ispitivanju zadovoljstva stanovnika nekim aspektima kvalitete života. U istraživanjima kvalitete života posebno je važno ispitati potrebe studenata, s obzirom na njihove specifične potrebe tijekom studiranja. Ovaj rad u fokus stavlja zadovoljstvo studenata nekim aspektima kvalitete života u Splitu. Podaci potrebni za provedbu istraživanja prikupljeni su online anketnim upitnikom na uzorku od 156 ispitanika. Rezultati su pokazali da studenti i studentice kao privlačna mjesta percipiraju područja uz južni obalni pojas te područja s više zelenih površina, dok neprivlačna mjesta percipiraju ona na rubnim dijelovima grada. Pokazalo se da su studenti najmanje zadovoljni s manjkom zelenih površina te parkova te stambenim smještajem, što im je ujedno i najvažniji aspekt u ocjenjivanju kvalitete života. Rezultati također upućuju na postojanje značajnih razlika u zadovoljstvu među studentima koji planiraju trajno otići i onih koji planiraju ostati u Splitu.Modern cities are influenced by the consequences of urbanization and globalization, which changes the overall picture of quality of life. Consequently, research has been conducted in Croatia in various scientific fields aimed at examining the satisfaction of residents with some aspects of quality of life. In quality of life research, it is especially important to examine students' needs, given their specific needs during their studies. This paper focuses on university students' satisfaction with some aspects of quality of life in Split. The data for the research were obtained from an online survey on a sample of 156 respondents. The results indicate that male and female students perceive areas along the southern sea shore and areas with more green spaces as attractive, while the areas on the outskirts of the city were perceived as unattractive. It was also demonstrated that students are the least satisfied with housing and the lack of green spaces and parks, which is also the most important aspect in assessing the quality of life. Moreover, the results suggest that there is a significant difference in satisfaction between students who plan to leave Split after college and those who plan to stay there
